A Musical Sanctuary for the Soul


In an otherwise perilous and difficult world, there was a call for refuge, a safe place, an expressive and creative venue for my thoughts feelings and melodies and thus the My Luv Notes® Brand was created. My heart reached out and My Luv Notes® answered the call.  This musical sanctuary was born out of a need to create a vehicle for my own self-expression. I am a writer of truths and a musician.  Since my view of life is that we are all one, I had a feeling that many others could appreciate and even share my perspective of the world and life, without judgment or prejudice. My Luv Notes® answered the call, the call for a fresh and honest perspective on life coupled with melodic messages from above and within to inspire, motivate and uplift an otherwise weary soul.  My Luv Notes became my sanctuary, where I could get down to the truth, speak my peace and feel comfortable, safe and inspired. My Luv Notes® invites you to join us on this journey.
 
The paths we take in life are not easy, and I feel I speak to the masses when I tell my stories through song and touch upon matters of the heart and soul. Set to a nice RandB/Soul vibe, topics can range from love to heartache, missing someone in heaven or confronting one that has lied to you.  We also enjoy a good dance mix and some good lovin’!

My Luv Notes® is rooted in faith and hope and a desire to help others.  A portion of profits from My Luv Notes’® music and items from the My Luv Notes® Boutique will be donated to charity.

So when you support My Luv Notes® in any way, you support others.  I’ve written many songs about continuing your path in life even when the deck seems stacked against you.  I feel that people need encouragement and support through the darkest of times.  When they begin to put the pieces back together again, it can be a confusing time in life and you need a caring network.  My Luv Notes® wants to support you and your cause throughout all of the phases on your journey. 

Life has been bestowed upon us and it is a gift.  My Luv Notes® wants to share their gifts with you to achieve the greatest good. My Luv Notes® is honored to make music that the world can hear and feel.  Help us to help you. My Luv Notes is not only a brand, but it is also a movement deep-rooted in truth, strength, love, and compassion and with the help of blessings from above, My Luv Notes may be just the sanctuary we need during this tumultuous time.
